Hi all, I am using get_iplayer 2.83 on two Linux machines to download TV programs with the following settings:
Output of get_iplayer --prefs-show: fatfilename = 1 whitespace = 1 raw = 1 tvmode = best profiledir = /xxx/xxx output = /xxx/xxx fileprefix = <name><-episode>. I use fatfilename as the files are copied onto a NAS that doesn't like colons in the filename and whitespace as I prefer spaces to underscores. According to the wiki documentation for 2.83's slightly extended syntax for substitution parameters, by using the fileprefix setting as above only the name and episode details will be included in the filename and if the downloaded file has no episode info, this section (including the hyphen, since it is inside the chevrons) will not appear at all: e.g. Default: <name>-<episode> <pid> default.flv or <name>-<pid> default.flv Fileprefix set as above: <name>-<episode>.flv or <name>.flv My problem is that since adding this setting to my prefs (or using it on the command line), it works as expected when downloading a series with episode info, but for everything else without it (films, one-off progs etc) I end up with a hyphenated double filename, <name>-<name>.flv: e.g. Easy Listening Hits at the BBC.flv becomes Easy Listening Hits at the BBC-Easy Listening Hits at the BBC.flv I tried replacing the hyphen with a dot (as per the wiki example) in case this was causing the problem, but got exactly the same result. I have also removed all preset options and tried the --fileprefix setting on its own and with the other settings via the command line, but again, I get the same result. The documentation seems clear enough, but have I misunderstood something about this setting, is there something I've missed or is this a bug? How do I stop this double-file naming for program names that do not contain episode info? Many thanks in advance for your help.
